They are both bad in their own ways just one is the lesser of two evils.

But to me both sides suck

Don't let the downvotes change your mind. Lemmy is clearly leftist and you must not be brainwashed into changing your political beliefs to follow the mass. Keep your critical thinking!

I won’t letting it change my beliefs. I love when people downvote instead of having a conversation they just do that. If I’m wrong with my belief I’ll admit it but you can’t learn without actually talking.

And wait till they find out I’m a democrat

In what world is, "Equality across social and demographic groups" seen as evil?

In the world where tankies are pretty much the only thing you see when you see people talking about far-left/communism, and where past examples of far-left countries aren't really good for people (imo)

Communism and far-left is more than just "Equality across social and demographic groups". It's not as simple as a finger snap and everyone is equal. It often comes with important costs. Some people value more their freedom for example.

The road towards communism has been far more beneficial and prosperous than the capitalist road we're currently treading. You claim that equality comes with important costs, but i will argue that the benefits far outweigh the "costs", and wouldn't be so much different than the current costs of maintaining the status quo.

Pretty bold of you to assume I’m considering that evil

You said as much when you said communism is the lesser of two evils, "Equality across social and demographic groups" being it's core tenet
